This author wrote a play in which the queen Atossa and the ghost of Darius react to news of a military defeat; that play is the only classical tragedy on a contemporary, rather than mythical, subject. This author of The Suppliants and The Persians also wrote about a man who is pursued to Athens to stand trial for murdering Clytemnestra, which happens in The Libation-Bearers. For 10 points, name this author of The Eumenides (yoo-MEN-id-eez) and Agamemnon, part of his Ores
